Good Saturday afternoon, gang. Here’s hoping the blog finds you enjoying this cold, December day. The next round of winter weather is on the way to the bluegrass state tonight into Sunday. This will be another wintry mix maker that will cause travel troubles for much of the state.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is now out for much of the state for tonight into Sunday. Here’s a look…
We may see a few more counties added to that with before the day is finished.
Moisture streams in from southwest to northeast after midnight. Temps will be below freezing area wide, but a warm layer aloft complicates precipitation type. While everyone starts out as some freezing rain, sleet and snow, the south and southeast should see temps go above freezing early Sunday morning. That means more rain takes over.
The 32 degree line will gradually work northward during the day and many areas may see the change to rain before evening. Here’s a look at how this may play out…
Just like last time… with varying precipitation types, amounts of any one type could be greater or lower. The worst case scenario would be for all this to fall in the form of freezing rain. That would have a bigger impact. I do not think that happens, right now. Instead, we get a bit of everything.
With temps and road temps colder than before the last system moved in, the impact on travel will be much greater into central and eastern Kentucky… especially during the morning hours.
Another round or two of winter weather is possible late Monday into Tuesday.
Make it a great day and take care.
Snow. Go away. We want rain.
Reverse psy
I like it
Oh, Please, what do we have to do to get snow in Somerset… Seriously need a snow day…
Its Hard to enjoy 30’s when everywhere you look is floodwater hopefully next week or the week after there will be something to play in besides mud. The mud is bad this time of year 🙂
CB..you were pretty much spot on this past storm. As always I’m the guy on here praying there is NO snow at my house, I cant stand winter weather. Any way, I appreciate the hard and good work you do! Please forcast some sun and 60 degrees soon!
Seems we are two of the few warm wx fans on this list!
I’m ok with a little snow that quickly melts (especially Christmas day), but I otherwise like 60s and 70 during the winter.
Our church had a committee on inclement weather that is tasked with scheduling church activities during bad weather. Thank you so much for making such detailed information available. It makes making a decision that much easier. Our annual children’s Christmas play is scheduled for tomorrow evening. For once, I’m praying for rain Shelbyville!
As always, Charleston WV NWS is last to do anything at all. :/
So, in other words, it’s going to be another cold rain.
Well if we can’t get at least .75 of ice then bring on the rain..Put me down for a week without power..Love a good ice storm..
Anything wintry 🙂
I sense some sarcasm here…LOL
The good news is that the ice on Friday was nothing like destructive ice storms in 1994, 2003, 2009.
Parts of Graves County in KY and Weakley County in TN (both west of the Land Between the Lakes area) recorded about .5 inch of ice yesterday, but most other areas had .3 or less. Only minor tree and power issues were reported. The roads thankfully remained just wet for the most part.
bing crosby with a capachinno and footbLL AHHHH,
wave 3 here in Louisville is going with a forecast half inch to 1 inch of snow turn over to
regular rain in the afternoon
at least with this system there is no hype to hype.
Oh yea, and CB, please dont get me wrong you’re a great met and I have nothing against you, but in all honesty, you tend to exaggerate your forecasts or just things you say a bit. And sometimes overreact to what people say against you, you will always have those people, nothing you can do about it. Thanks CB for your hard work you put into this blog, on tv, and in social media. I will say that you are the best at bringing the latest updates, other mets take all day until you hear another word from them. And again thanks.
Looks like Virginia gets a big ice storm according to the Nam…Gee how lucky..But of course its the Nam..It’s Been known to be wrong before..Like yesterday..lol
Has the NAM ever been right. It needs thrown in the crapper…..
I wonder if the models are over doing the warm air some where theirs snow cover, seen this happen before, watch this one overachieve since the other stroms have been on the underside!
That would be a welcome surprise
The forecast high today in my area was supposed to be 39 with the low tonight of 33. The high was met early this morning at 36 and it’s been dropping all day. It’s at 32.8 right now. Of course there has been many times I’ve seen the temperature rise 10 degrees or more at night when the precipitation moves in from the south.
The high today in Louisville is the current temp of 27°…
I do believe the forecast was for a high of 30°. The models have been off a few degrees each lately. Maybe they will be tomorrow?
Power back on in Frankfort after an outage for about 1 hour, makes me nervous when temps are at 23
